Negative Ecology: Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty at 50
Abstract:This essay reassesses the significance of Robert Smithson's land art for environmental politics in a time of climate crisis. Drawing on analyses of fossil capital and petrocultures, it argues that Smithson's aesthetics of entropy—particularly as conveyed in the 1970 earthwork Spiral Jetty—provide a valuable dialectical methodology for critical theory in the Capitalocene. The essay proposes a "negative ecology" that can challenge logics of resilience and survival shared by ecologists and extractivists alike.
